What Does it Mean to Build People and Deliver Joy?
Our purpose at Frozen Dessert Supplies is "Build People and Deliver Joy." That's been our purpose since we were founded in 2011. Our founder and CEO, Tim Porter, has been working to build people and deliver joy much longer than Frozen Dessert Supplies has been around.
It Started with Gelato
In 2008, Tim started a gelato shop called Gelato Freeze. His goal was to employ high school students and give them the opportunity to save money for college or anything else they needed. Gelato Freeze's menu and pricing were made to be the easiest for the customers. The menu had three different sizes: A, B, and C. The pricing was just as simple. Everything was in round numbers with tax included.
As we all know, 2008 lead to a massive recession in the US. Where there were once lines out the door, it was now empty. People didn't have money to spend on gelato anymore. Tim had to close the doors. Rather than seeing this as the end of the road, he kept going.
The Frozen Dessert Industry had a Problem
While in the industry, Tim saw a big problem: getting supplies was a pain. He had to order all the supplies over the phone and wait until the supplier happened to be in the area. Alongside that, there wasn't a reputable, honest, and easy-to-work-with company or person selling gelato cups and spoons. That's when he got the idea for Frozen Dessert Supplies.
Gelato Freeze Inspired Frozen Dessert Supplies
The purpose of Gelato Freeze was to give high school students jobs and build them as people. That same purpose has inspired Frozen Dessert Supplies: we're a company made up of people being built. Each employee has goals, personal and professional, and the people of Frozen Dessert Supplies strive to help each employee reach those goals.
The second part of Gelato Freeze's purpose was to make everything simple. That's another goal of Frozen Dessert Supplies. That's why we offer free shipping! When you shop with us, you don't have to worry about complicated pricing or a hard-to-navigate website.
